NOTE: 'N5FC' is my former call, so you will likely observe references to it.

N5ESE's Ham Radio Page

Welcome! Monty has been a ham for 35+ years. Recently, I changed my call under the Vanity Call system from N5FC to N5ESE. If you're a CW op, and sound out 'ESE', you'll understand why. Most of my operating has been on CW HF (much of it QRP), and the bulk of my operating time has been spent "ragchewing". My on-the-air time comes and goes in cycles, but my love of building electronics never seems to go away. As we build new projects, we'll make them available here on the web, for whoever might get a chuckle out of my techniques, or whoever might be foolish enough to duplicate something I hobbled together.

By the way, personal sites like mine take a lot of spare time, and the biggest reward is feedback from observers. I also learn a lot from your parallel (and sometime oblique) experiences. So don't be bashful about sending e-mail related to the web site or these projects: n5ese@prismnet.com
